Description
A Humanities Pedagogy Approach to Modern Masculinity examines how classroom-based practices from across the humanities can counter the anti-egalitarian narratives shaping contemporary manosphere discourse.
Drawing on 12 essays that traverse literature and related fields, this volume explores critical and empathetic pedagogical strategies that illuminate the socio-economic and cultural forces contributing to young men's growing alienation. By offering alternative narratives to the harmful ideals promoted by influential manosphere figures, the collection moves beyond theoretical critique to propose pragmatic, implementable approaches for educators teaching at primary, secondary, and university levels. Its contributions demonstrate how humanities pedagogy can foster inclusive understandings of masculinity while equipping students to question and resist exclusionary ideology.
A Humanities Pedagogy Approach to Modern Masculinity is essential reading for educators, researchers, and students in education, gender studies, and the humanities seeking effective frameworks to respond to the manosphere's expanding influence in diverse classroom contexts.
